Join us for the next IJCL Board Meeting at Carmel High School on Saturday, October 29, 2016 at 10 a.m. Eastern time. All IJCL board meetings are open to guests, and we encourage everyone to come and see how the organization is run. We appreciate your feedback. We also believe that it is good for potential candidates to attend a board meeting to help them learn more about the organization as a whole. The board may work during lunch at this meeting. Pizza will be provided for all board members; guests are asked to bring $5.00 for lunch. An order form will be distributed at the beginning of the meeting. Carmel High School is located at 520 E. Main Street in Carmel, Indiana. Park on the west side of the high school; enter through Door 8 and follow the signs. We’ve been told that there is lots of ongoing construction in the Carmel area and are encouraging attendees to budget additional travel time to compensate for construction delays.

N.B. Those attending the board meeting are welcome to hand-deliver their Fall Latin Day forms, invoices, and checks.

We are looking for a sponsor who might be interested in running the Open Certamen contest at State Convention this year. We’ll help you as you transition into the role. If you are interested, please email chair@ijcl.org ASAP.

We are still taking names of those sponsors and those students who are interested in being part of either the Leadership Development Academy committee or the Fall Latin Day committee. Each committee meets virtually approximately twice every month for an hour or an hour and a half. This is a great opportunity for students and sponsors who want to get more involved, but aren’t ready to take on a fuller leadership role. We reserve several spots on each committee for those who are not currently a member of the IJCL board for this reason. If you have a student or sponsor friend who you think would benefit from this experience, please give us their name. Nominations and self-nominations should be emailed to chair@ijcl.org ASAP as we would like to have the new members selected by early January and start organizing meetings in either January or February.

**Reminder: The national chapter fee is currently $10. Remember that individual membership fees increase from $4 to $10 on January 16.

You can track this year’s membership data including good standing status here.

Remember that you will pay both the state and national dues through this process; you should NOT be sending any money to the national office. We will send your lists and dues money on to NJCL on your behalf.

You even have the option of paying your ACL dues through this process.

If your chapter was a member last year, please follow the directions in this document to start up your chapter for this year:

If you were not a member last year and would like to join, just let us know and we will set you up with an account so that you can start the registration process. You will then follow these directions:

Remember that you must have at least 5 members in order to be a JCL chapter.

There is a link to use to report issues at the bottom of every page in the online membership system; please use that link as it immediately notifies our developer, a former IJCLer, so that he can make changes and/or help you through your problem.

We would love to hear your feedback concerning your experiences with this system!

Hello, everyone. I’m requesting chapter news items for the next Veritas issue. You can send your news to editor@ijcl.org. The requested deadline for your submissions is December 15. Here are some examples of what kind of news I’m looking for: Did anyone from your chapter attend Leadership Development Academy or Fall Latin Day? If so, what positive experiences did you get out of them? Has your club been doing any monthly service projects? What else has your chapter been doing over the past few months? etc. Share with your colleagues what you’ve been up to at your school by sending a short statement or summary to Maddie by December 15.
